A bullet with a mass mb=13.5 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity vb=245 m/s. The block is attached to a spring that has a spring constant k of 205 N/m. The block and bullet continue to move, compressing the spring by 35.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass mw of the wooden block.

Answers

Answer 1

Momentum is conserved, so the sum of the momenta of the bullet and block before collision is equal to the momentum of the combined bullet-block system,

[tex]m_bv_b+m_wv_w = (m_b+m_w)v[/tex]

where v is the speed of the bullet-block system. The block starts at rest so it has no initial momentum, and solving for v gives

[tex]v = \dfrac{m_b}{m_b+m_w} v_b[/tex]

The total work W performed by the spring on the bullet-block system as it is compressed a distance x is

[tex]W = -\dfrac12kx^2[/tex]

where k is the spring constant, and the work done is negative because the restoring force of the spring opposes the bullet-block as it compresses the spring.

By the work-energy theorem, the total work done is equal to the change in the bullet-block's kinetic energy ∆K, so we have

[tex]W_{\rm total} = W = \Delta K[/tex]

The bullet-block starts moving with velocity v found earlier and comes to a stop as the spring slows it down, so we have

[tex]-\dfrac12kx^2 = -\dfrac12(m_b+m_w)v^2 \implies kx^2 = \dfrac{{m_b}^2}{m_b+m_w}{v_b}^2[/tex]

Solve for [tex]m_w[/tex]:

[tex]m_w=\dfrac1k\left(\dfrac{m_bv_b}x\right)^2-m_b[/tex]

[tex]m_w=\dfrac1{205\frac{\rm N}{\rm m}}\left(\dfrac{(0.0135\,\mathrm{kg})\left(245\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)}{0.350\,\rm m}\right)^2-0.0135\,\mathrm{kg}\approx \boxed{0.422\,\mathrm{kg}}[/tex]

Two stones are dropped from the edge of a 60m cliff , the second stone 1.6secon after the first . How far below the top of the cliff is the second stone when the separation between the two stone is 36m?

Answers

Answer:

The separation between the two stones is 36 m, when the second stone is approximately 10.9 m below the top of the cliff

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the cliff from which the stones are dropped, h = 60 m

The time at which the second stone is dropped = 1.6 seconds after the first

The distance below the top of the cliff when the distance between the two stones is 36 m = Required

We have;

The kinematic equation of motion that can be used is s = u·t - (1/2)·g·t²

For the first stone, we have, s₁ = u·t₁ - (1/2)·g·t₁²

For the second stone, we get; s₂ = u·t₂ - (1/2)·g·t₂²

t₁ = t₂ + 1.6

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

s = The distance below the cliff top

The initial velocity of the stones, u = 0

Let t represent the time from which the second stone is dropped at which the distance between the two stones is 36 m, we have;

s₁ = u·(t + 1.6) + (1/2)·g·(t + 1.6)²

s₂ = u·t + (1/2)·g·t²

u = 0

∴ s₁ - s₂ = 36 =  (1/2)·g·(t + 1.6)² - (1/2)·g·t²

2 × 36/(g) = (t + 1.6)² - t²  = t² + 3.2·t + 2.56 - t² = 3.2·t + 2.56

2 × 36/(9.81) = 3.2·t + 2.56

t = (2 × 36/(9.81) - 2.56)/3.2 =  ≈ 1.49 s

t ≈ 1.49 s

s₂ = (1/2)·g·t²

∴ s₂ = (1/2) × 9.81 × 1.49² ≈ 10.9

The distance below the top of the cliff of the second stone when the the separation between the two stones is 36 m, s₂ ≈ 10.9 m.

In a Rutherford scattering experiment, alpha parti- cles having kinetic energy of 7.70 MeV are fired toward a gold nucleus that remains at rest during the collision. The alpha particles come as close as 29.5 fm to the gold nucleus before turning around. (a) Calculate the de Broglie wave- length for the 7.70-MeV alpha particle and compare it with the distance of closest approach, 29.5 fm. (b) Based on this comparison, why is it proper to treat the alpha particle as a particle and not as a wave in the Rutherford scattering experiment

Answers

(a) The de Broglie wavelength is approximately 5.175 × 10⁻¹⁵  meters. The wavelength is lesser than the distance of closest approach

(b) It is proper to treat the alpha particle as a particle and not as wave because the distance of closest approach is much larger than and not comparable to its wavelength for the alpha particle for the alpha particle to be treated as a wave

The given parameters are;

The kinetic energy of the alpha particles = 7.70 MeV = 1.23368 × 10⁻¹² J

The distance from the gold nucleus the alpha particles reach = 29.5 fm

(a) The de Broglie wavelength of a particle is given as follows;

[tex]\mathbf{\lambda = \dfrac{h}{p}}[/tex]

Where;

λ = The wavelength

h = Planck's constant = 6.62607004 × 10⁻³⁴ m²·kg/s

p = The momentum of the particle = Mass of an electron, m × Velocity, v

The mass of an alpha particle, m ≈ 6.645 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

Therefore;

[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{h}{m \times v}[/tex]

The kinetic energy of the alpha particle, K.E. = (1/2)·m·v²

∴ v = √(2 × K.E./m)

Therefore;

[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{h}{m \times \sqrt{2 \times \dfrac{K.E.}{m} } } = \dfrac{h}{ \sqrt{2 \times m \times K.E.} }[/tex]

Plugging in the values of the variables gives;

[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{6.62607004 \times 10 ^{-34} }{ \sqrt{2 \times 6.645 \times 10 ^{-27} \times 1.23368 \times 10^{-12} } } \approx 5.175 \times 10^{-15}[/tex]

The de Broglie wavelength of the alpha particle, λ ≈ 5.175 × 10⁻¹⁵ m

The distance of closest approach = 29.5 fm = 29.5 × 10⁻¹⁵ m

Compared to the distance of closest approach, the wavelength of the alpha particle is lesser than the distance of closest approach

(b)  Given that the distance of closest approach is six times larger than the wavelength of the alpha particle, and alpha particle behaving as waves are expected to approach closer to the gold nucleus in the region of their wavelength before deflection, therefore, the larger distance of closest approach is indicative of a charged particle to charged particle interaction, and therefore, particle behavior of alpha particles.

Why are road accidents at high speeds very much worse than road accidents at low speeds?

Answers

Answer:

The momentum makes it worse.

Explanation:

The momentum of vehicles running at faster speeds is very high and causes a lot of damage to the vehicles.

Vehicles with high speeds have high momenta (plural of momentum). When they come to rest in very small time they experience high forces
we know that rate of change of momentum is force, lower the time higher is force. So, slow moving vehicles experience less force. It is important to note that if any one vehicle involving has high speed it can do more damage both the vehicles involving.

Un auto se desplaza por una carretera recta a una velocidad de 85 km/h. Al cabo de 2 horas, ¿qué distancia habrá recorrido, en metros?

Answers

Answer:

Distancia, D = 170,000 metros

Explanation:

Dados los siguientes datos;

Velocidad = 85 km/h Tiempo = 2 horas

Para encontrar la distancia recorrida, en metros;

Matemáticamente, la distancia recorrida por un objeto se calcula mediante la fórmula;

Distancia = velocidad * tiempo

Sustituyendo los valores en la fórmula, tenemos;

Distancia = 85 * 2

Distancia = 170 kilómetros

A continuación, convertiríamos el valor en kilómetros a metros;

Conversión:

1 kilómetros = 1000 metros

170 kilómetros = D metros

Multiplicación cruzada, tenemos;

D = 170 * 1000

D = 170,000 metros

Por lo tanto, habría viajado 170,000 metros después de 2 horas.

Answers

Answer:

25 mm = 0 deg C

200 mm = 100 deg C

200 - 25 = 175 = change in thread per 100 deg C

95 - 25 = 70 mm - change in thread from 0 deg C

70 / 175 * 100 = 40 deg C    final temperature at 95 mm

Write the dimension of a / b in the x = at + bt2. Where x is the distance and t is the time?​

Answers

The dimension of a/b where x is the distance and t is the time is T

Given the expression

x = at + bt²

where

x is the distance

t is the time

Based on the homogeneity principle, the expression on the left-hand side must be equal to that on the right. Hence;

x = at

[tex]a = \frac{x}{t}[/tex]

Since x is the distance and distance is measured in metres, the dimension equivalent will be the length 'L'

Since t is the time and time is measured in seconds, the dimension equivalent will be the seconds 'T'

[tex]a=\frac{L}{T}[/tex]

Similarly;

x  = bt²

[tex]b=\frac{x}{t^2}\\b=\frac{L}{T^2}[/tex]

Next is to get a/b;

[tex]\frac{a}{b} = \frac{L}{T} \div \frac{L}{T^2}\\\frac{a}{b} = \frac{L}{T}*\frac{T^2}{L} \\\frac{a}{b} =\frac{T^2}{T}\\\frac{a}{b} =T[/tex]

Hence the dimension of a/b is T

A)0.0262/s

B)18.4

C)0.0377/s

C)38.2/s

Answers

Answer:

Option A.

Explanation:

We define the half time T as the time such that an initial quantity A reduces to its half.

So we can model the quantity as a function of time like:

P(t) = A*e^(-k*t)

Then for the half time, T, we will have:

P(T) = A/2 = A*e^(-k*T)

solving for k, we get:

A/2 = A*e^(-k*T)

1/2 = e^(-k*T)

ln(1/2) = ln( e^(-k*T)) = -k*T

-ln(1/2)/T = k

Here we know that the half time is T = 26.5s

if we input that in the above equation, we get:

-ln(1/2)/26.5s = k = 0.0262 s^-1

Then the correct option is A
